helped her move in and unpack. The number of boxes and packing material was unbelievable. She then came back a few days later to finalize her downsizing and got her things to several consignment shops and donated much more. It saved me a trip to

The kitchen is now much more user-friendly, our pantry has designated places for everything, and she created a system that my whole family can follow. My daughter's bedroom went from preteen disaster to magazine "after" photo-ready, and both mother and daughter are thrilled with the changes. In addition to designing a new furniture layout in the bedroom, incorporating a larger bed,

designed and installed a new closet system, finding space where we were sure there was none. Lastly, she guided me through the challenging task of sorting toys and books that my children are no longer using, and helped me identify a few sentimental "

I looked through our database to find providers to assist you, but I'm sorry to say we don't currently have options in your area.

We like to offer members at least three options for their projects, so when this happens we are happy to offer the services of our Local Research Department. They will search outside of our database to track down some options for you. Because these providers won't be rated by members, it will be difficult to determine intangibles like reliability, price, expertise and other things that can be found on member reviews. However, we want to help you find a place to start with your project. Please allow a couple of business days for them to follow up with their findings.

It went really well. We really liked working with Amber and would definitely recommend her. She is a very sensible, friendly person and was very helpful to us. One thing I would say is that it is very important that you plan on working hand in hand with Amber during her visit - I think that's best to get the most out of her services. That's ...More not a criticism of Amber at all, it is just a comment on a common misconception about hiring an organizer. Amber is great! I wouldn't hesitate to hire her!”

We were searching for custom closets for 3 spaces in our home and reached out to

because of their positive reviews.

came out to our home and discussed different options for our awkward closet configurations / door sizes. He understood that we were trying to manage costs and he was great about suggesting ...More ways to keep the project costs down without compromising on the functionality / overall quality. He suggested some unique ways to maximize storage which have been helpful.

was very prompt at answering my questions during the design phase. Their quote was slightly more competitive than the competitors but service was hands down more professional and friendly. From the time of signing the quote, we were able to book an install date 3 weeks later. The install team was very courteous and organized. They were able to install 2 bedroom closets and 1 large entryway / mudroom closet in one day.

promptly followed up to ensure the service and product was satisfactory. We are very pleased and would recommend

to anyone.”

He didn't seem very responsive or interested in performing work for a garage storage solution. He stated he was too busy at the time to do the work but that I could call back in a few weeks if still interested. He also said that the major focus of his work was in closets, so I got the sense that he wasn't as interested in doing garage work. ...More While I understand that the company has gotten many good reviews and is busy, it seems as though perhaps he should consider not advertising as being available to do garage work if not really interested. It ended up being a waste of my time trying to contact this company. I went with Closet Works, and they did an excellent job.”

I called shortly after buying this deal to have my garage cleaned out. When the two guys showed up to do the job, they said there were too many heavy items in my garage and it would end up costing me a lot more for them to move them. For the record I had a couch and small entertainment center in the garage, but all other items were small boxes etc. ...More I agreed to get those items moved myself and call back to schedule another time to do the clean out.
Got rid of the items and the weather here in Chicago tanked. It's been unusually cold. It's now too cold to expect anyone to do this job. I called

last week, after sending them a message thru Angies List, asking if my voucher could be used next year when it gets warmer. They asked me to call them to discuss it. I called last week, and received a really strange recording that didn't sound like a business, but something generic. I called again this Monday 11/17 and received the regular company outgoing message. I left a message for them to call me back, it's Friday 11/21, they have not yet returned my call.
In my opinion, this company most certainly does not live up to expectations. I would like a refund of the $159 I spent for a service it doesn't appear that I am going to get.”

Amber and

, our two organizers, were fantastic! They came on time and made our place look great. We have a 1000 sq ft one bedroom condo that was in desperate need of an overhaul. We had too much stuff and it was really disorganized since we didn't have set places and/or room for putting things away. When they first showed ...More up, we did a run through of the condo and Amber asked a number of questions to help her understand how we used the place and how they would organize to make sure it worked for the way we lived. I was nervous at first letting people see the mess - I usually do a binge clean before having people over - but they made me feel comfortable right away.
They were both great in guiding us along and ensuring we were making progress, but were also very encouraging and made sure not to push too hard. I had a lot of clothes that I needed to sort through making decisions on whether to donate, throw away, store for the season, or keep.

was great at helping the process move along quickly. We also did a total reorganization of the kitchen and living spaces with Amber and

really complimenting each other to get the job done quickly and effectively.
Amber was very helpful in recommending layout and flow and even provided a shopping list of things that we could purchase that would help with organization. We love the new spaces that we set up and got rid of a whole bunch of stuff we didn't need. I am so happy with the final product. I would absolutely recommend making the investment because now we have an organized place and a system that will be sustainable moving forward.”
